VMblog visits the Kublr booth during KubeCon 2018 in Seattle to learn more about their comprehensive Kubernetes platform for the enterprise.

Learn how Kublr allows operations to centrally manage Kubernetes clusters across different environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem, hybrid), how to set up a standard configuration cluster with just a few clicks or customize cluster specifications for advanced use cases.

VMblog visits with SnapRoute during #KubeCon 2018 in Seattle to learn more about their containerized microservices Network Operating System (NOS).

SnapRoute has built the only fully-containerized microservices Network Operating System (NOS) for disaggregated (i.e. whitebox) switches - built using Cloud Native principles and tools, natively. They are in trials now and will be fully launching their first release, early next year. Watch and learn more!

VMblog visits the StackRox booth during KubeCon 2018 in Seattle to learn more about their security for containerized, cloud-native application solutions.

StackRox is the only container security platform that makes security for containers and Kubernetes part of the DevOps infrastructure and workflow. They provide context across your full deployment - not just your image - so you know whether a given container is running in test vs. prod, is open to the Internet, or is part of a critical application like your payment card app. That rich context enables us to provide you a stack-ranked list of your riskiest deployments, using far more than vulnerability information. Their platform is also tightly integrated with Kubernetes, so the Security and DevOps teams are using the same infrastructure for network policy enforcement. That integration means Security and DevOps work together. Plus, we apply the CI/CD methodology of a feedback loop to give you an ever-shrinking attack surface, leveraging runtime data to further harden your infrastructure.

VMblog visits the Platform9 booth during KubeCon 2018 in Seattle to learn more about their SaaS-managed enterprise Kubernetes solution.

Platform9 lets you leverage your existing infrastructure- either on public clouds, on-premises or at the edge. You simply plug-in all your environments to our SaaS-managed control plane, to benefit from a consistent cloud management experience across all types of infrastructure and applications.

They provide pure-play open source Kubernetes, delivered as a service. This ensure open source innovation, economics and interoperability, without the management overhead.

They provide a unified cloud experience: Simple, centralized view of assets across public, private, and hybrid clouds - and across Containers, Serverless, and VMs.
